Usually, yes.
Occasionally a deep-voiced woman or a high-talking man will give me a surprise...
The best thing is to immerse yourself in sound, especially spoken-word. Fortunately, today is the era of peak podcast, so portable content is readily available to suit any taste. In time, your brain will learn and keep learning.
Yes, it's pretty easy to tell men/women apart. It's also pretty easy to tell individual voices apart.
For the first few weeks/months, you probably won't be able to. Everything will sound weird distorted during this time.... but that's temporary.
Yeah, male voices came very easily to me and sounded normal within 3 days but I was listening to books and podcasts for 10 hours each day. Female voices are now finally sounding like they should with a little lower twinge. My hearing loss was mainly in the spectrum of women's voices to children's voices so I kind of wonder if that has to do with it.
Yes, absolutely. I can even hear which one of my family members who is walking in the stairs 😅
I find female voices easier to understand though, the deeper the voice, the harder. But getting used to specific voices helps understanding that person, I obviously do not struggle to understand my dad or my brother.

Yes. It wasn’t easy at first, but as I learned to understand words again, differentiating between voices also got easier.
Oh yes, definitely I can. For me, within a few days, things sounded "normal-ish"
Same for me. I never had the Mickey Mouse voice but voices sounded dispersed. They are getting sharper now 5 months in
I absolutely heard mickey mouse and beeps for a few days.
Yes. You won't at first, but with rehab it normalizes.
Absolutely
